Aldersgate will once again be hosting the women’s homeless

shelter Nov. 7-14. If you are not familiar with this ministry, the

program provides shelter and a pillow for every head during the cold winter months. We will be collecting items through Nov. 1. Donation boxes are in the Reed

Room. A full list of needed items can be found in the Autumn

“Aldersgate Alive” in the Narthex or on the church website.

Monetary contributions will be accepted through Nov. 15 which

will be used to buy food and paper goods during the week and help with other expenses related

to hosting the program. Make your check payable to AUMC

with PACEM in the memo.

There will be many opportunities to help, including overnight staff, help with serving meals, helping

setup or take down the cots, laundry and greeting. Please visit the signup station located in the

Reed Room. Contact Deb Reynolds (295-8217), Leatha Harlow (975-0633) or Nancy

Berman (973-6555).

Young Adult Education Opportunity: On Sunday

mornings, bring your children and youth to Sunday School and then

join together with other young adults in room 211 at 10:15 for a

discussion of scripture.

Advent Devotion Booklet: Where have you seen God at work in the world or in your life? Everybody has a story! If you want to share

one of your stories with the congregation this Advent season, please contact Pat MacNicoll at

434-589-5956 or pamacnicoll@msn.com for

details. Deadline for submission of articles is November 15.

If you would like your college student to get a care package in December and another one in early May, please send the names and addresses to Susan Reed reedr3va@netzero.com. Thanks for your help. The students really do enjoy getting the packages and knowing they haven’t been forgotten by their home church.

Plant and Bulb Sale Today in the Reed Room

at Sip ‘n Chat. See Merrill Bishop.

Trunk or Treat will be Sunday, October 25th from 4-6pm in the lower parking lot at AUMC. We're in need of folks to decorate their vehicle trunks and pass out candy. This year there will be a prize for the best decorated vehicle! We're also in need of lots of candy donations to use when those at their vehicles run out. (Hundreds of kids = we need LOTS of candy!) There is a bin in the Narthex for donations of candy. THANK YOU!

Financial Statements will be mailed the week of the 18th.

Please check carefully.

The Friendship Class is beginning the study of the book, "Ask. Faith Questions in a Skeptical Age," by
